“I had a really positive experience using Christina’s services. It was my first time using a cat sitter so I was a little bit nervous but she put me at ease straight away. She frequently shared pictures and updates and my cat’s were well looked after while I was away, I would definitely use Christina again. Thankyou Furcedes 🙏😊”
“Elaine was amazing. She befriended my usually very shy and anxious cat almost straight away! Great communication, and I felt like nothing was too much to ask. Would love to have her again.”
“We are so grateful to Judith, she was wonderful. We were sent photos and a little update every day and our cat was really well cared for. Such a relief to find a reliable and caring person for our cat at short notice. Very happy!”

“Really happy with the service Sapphire provided. I received daily updates and photos which put my mind at ease, as I knew Curly was being well looked after. Sapphire was great at communicating and very accommodating with working around schedules when sorting out key handover, as well as helped me out with bringing in a cat food delivery I’d ordered that hadn’t arrived before I left. Would definitely ask Sapphire to look after Curly again the next time I’m away!”
“Martha looked after my cat well and updated me a couple of times during the days I was away. She obviously loves animals and made an effort to interact with Rupert during her visits and whilst usually timid he warmed towards Martha and enjoyed the attention. I would recommend Martha for cat-sitting and if I need someone to look after Rupert when I am away again I would not hesitate to use Martha.”
“Jack has been amazing with my cat, when I came home after 3 days everything looked tidy and on top of everything my cat was happy and chilled 🥰😍 I don't think he missed us so much 😅 and it's just because Jack looked after him so well! Thank you again Jack.”
“Chloe has anew friend...Peanut! This was the first time we used cat in a flat and a great experience. Chloe sent us pics and videos to keep us up to date... much appreciated. Sure we'll return! ”
About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.
“We had to arrange a cat sitter last minute and we’re so glad we found Adiba! She was so quick to respond and made everything really easy from the beginning. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular photos of Milo. With a more timid cat, we were happy to see Milo getting more comfortable and settled with her as the days went on. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Adiba to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their pets. We’ll 100% be using her again whenever we go away!”
“Clare was a brilliant sitter for Bella. She went out of her way to arrange collection and drop off of the keys, sent me regular updates and pics. Would definitely book Clare again :)”
About: After my westie passed away 8yrs ago, it took me a while to figure what I wanted to do with my life, I’d lived with various dog breeds and cared for them, so the natural path for me to pursue was working with animals, this bought me great happiness and joy, it healed my heart. This is my full time calling, I dog walk on certain days and diary allowing I pet sit, I cover Leicester but I also do ad hoc sits. I always do a meet and greet, get a full history of the pets, walk them with the owner. I get a full rundown of the home. Typical questions: age, breed, allergies, medication, walks, food & treats, vets details, where they sleep, when they were last groomed and vaccinations.
About: I've has dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and hamsters all my life and I've been a proud parent to dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and fish my whole life. Currently I'm kept on my toes by my two 2 energic kittens! I work full-time but love nothing more than getting my animal fix after work. I am quite flexible as long as I have enough notice. I work full-time but can accommodate where possible. I work full time but im available in the evenings and weekends and happy to be fkexible where necessary. I am available weekly also if required. I have a fenced garden. Fully established and have grass area. I have also got a decking area and patio area and table and chairs. I have balls, lasers, paddling pool if they are hot, dog/cat towels. Access to a large park for them to explore.
About: A proud owner of 8 cats and a dog. I have grown up around cats and kittens, with a huge love for cats and the love and comfort they can give us. I am the type of person who spends hours looking for my neighbour's cats if they ever go missing, because I genuinely care about the welfare of all cats. I have never been one to regularly donate to a charity, but I have consistently donated to Cats Protection because of their motive of having all cats treated with kindness and understanding their needs. A variety of my friends and neighbours will ask me to watch their cats on a regular basis, one of whom has 7 cats all with different needs. Some are indoor cats turned outdoor cats, indoor cats, or have free reign of the whole area.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Wigston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wigston on Rover is £14 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,133 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Wigston. About 93% of Wigston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
